Learning Outcomes
- To be able to express with the technical and scientific vocabulary of materials science as a general engineer
- To be able to establish or interpret material specifications.
- To be able to analyze and anticipate the thermomechanical behaviour of materials in static load
- To be able to pre-size a part to avoid its degradation by abrupt rupture in static load
- To be able to choose a family of materials adapted to an given application (defined specifications)
- To be able to considernt all stages of material life cycle for sustainable development in the definition or analysis of specifications

Content
Objectives:
- To know, to understand and to be able to measure the material properties, especially thermomechanical properties.
- To know the atomic arrangment and microstructure of materials
- To know the material classes (main properties, microstructure features, applications).
- To understand the relatinships between the microstructure of materials, their properties and the processes.
- To be able to identify the key property(ies) to meet objectives or functional specifications of scope statements

Courses:
- Theoretical contributions are made in the form of lectures and application exercises carried out in class or in self-training. The courses introduce the main properties of the materials, the notions of materials microstructure and present the microstructure relations – properties – processes.

- Course content:
material life cycle; material families; material properties; atomic organization and microstructure; mechanical behaviour and properties: elasticity, viscoelasticity, plasticity, rupture; effect of temperature on materials: thermal dependence of properties, glass transition, fragile-ductile transition, creep, thermal shocks.

-Tutorials:
Tutorials illustrate and apply the concepts develop in lectures. They are focus on the comparison of the characteristics and properties of the 3 major families of materials, the determination and manipulation of the thermomechanical properties and the study of process.

Lab practice:
They allow learning to measure, compare and interpret the thermal and mechanical properties of materials
